He is riding on another level right now! It is going to be a blast watching him do his thing all season long. Just check that clip of him blasting into that berm, so damn fast! We agree...so glad he is okay! If his body would have ended up like his bike...it could have been bad. Neko is built like a brick!

He had a massive crash that snapped his seatpost, shattered his lid, and beat the crap out of his bike when the bike went tumbling end over end. Pretty insane that he walked away from it as he hit really really hard. No bar would have survived. Fortunately he is strong as hell!

Thanks for the message...Neko prefers as low of a set up as possible so a 25mm rise is too high for him. Brendan is the opposite and prefers a taller bar than 25mm (and he also prefers aluminum). Neko is on the 15mm rise Blacklabel handlebar and Brendan is on the upcoming 38mm rise Blacklabel!
